Man faces gun charge in stepson's death
By Graeme SMITHFriday,January 3, 2003, Page A3
A mother's grief was mixed with anger yesterday when her partner
remained in jail on a weapons charge in the fatal shooting of
her son on a hunting trip.
"I don't think it's fair at all," the tearful 30-year-old, who
asked not to be named, said in a telephone interview from her
home near Hagersville, Ontario
This is the second time she has mourned the death of a child
over the holidays: Her younger son, Elijah
JADE, died in a car
crash on Christmas Eve two years ago.
Her older son, 10-year-old Aaron James
MARTIN, went hunting for
his first deer in Southwold Township, south of London, Ontario,
on New Year's Day with his 31-year-old stepfather, Fabian
ELIJAH,
and Mr. ELIJAH's 12-year-old nephew.
Shortly after 1 p.m., police say, Mr.
ELIJAH was crossing a creek
in a ravine when he slipped and fell. The jolt set off his .22-calibre
rifle, and a bullet hit Aaron in the head.
Mr. ELIJAH and his nephew ran in opposite directions, out of
the woodlot and across corn fields, searching for help. Mr.
ELIJAH
found a farmhouse and emergency services were called.
Rescuers at first had trouble finding the boy, Ontario Provincial
Police spokesman Dennis
HARWOOD said: "It was difficult because
of the terrain."
Emergency crews borrowed four-wheel-drive pickup trucks and tore
across the rolling fields, but the distraught hunters had trouble
retracing their steps.
"They were trying their best," Mr.
HARWOOD said. "But they were
disoriented."
An air ambulance eventually spotted the boy from above, Mr.
HARWOOD
said. The helicopter took him to the Children's Hospital of Western
Ontario in London, where he was pronounced dead.
A police investigation later revealed that a 1993 court order
had forbidden Mr.
ELIJAH to own guns. He appeared in a Saint Thomas,
Ontario, courtroom yesterday, was charged with illegal possession
of a firearm and was denied bail.
Investigators are still examining the accident, Mr.
HARWOOD said,
though foul play is not suspected.
The boy's mother said Mr.
ELIJAH, her partner for about three
years, was an experienced hunter. She hadn't known about the
1993 court order, she said.
She has four surviving children, all girls.
Aaron had enjoyed playing on a local lacrosse team until his
brother's death, she said. "He's just been trying to heal from
that."
The boy was still learning to hunt, having tried it only a few
times before. He was also learning to speak the Mohawk language
of his ancestors.
"He was a high-spirited young boy," his mother said. "He had
lots of Friends. He was always helping people with things, you
know. I want the world to know how beautiful my sons were," she
said. "I want everybody to remember his kind and gentle heart.
He's with the Creator now, with his brother."

He founded Readers' Club of Canada
Nationalist visionary struggled financially to publish Canadian
writers
By Carol COOPERSpecial to The Globe and Mail Tuesday, April
22, 2003 - Page R7
In the early 1960s, when writers asked Peter and Carol
MARTIN
where to publish their manuscripts on Canada, the couple realized
how few choices there were. Inspired, the Martins, both voracious
readers, staunch nationalists and founders of the Readers' Club
of Canada, decided to start their own press. In 1965, Peter Martin
Associates came into being. Last month, Peter
MARTIN died of
lung cancer in Ottawa.
In an industry overshadowed by American companies, Peter
MARTIN
Associates was among the first in a wave of independent publishing
houses to open during a time of rising Canadian nationalism.
Launched in a downtown Toronto basement on a shoestring budget,
skeleton staff, idealism and enthusiasm, the company flew by
the seat of its pants. Its employees were often young and new
to the business. But many, including Peter
CARVER,
MichaelSOLOMON
and Valerie
WYATT, went on to become Canadian mainstays.
"It really was a time of Canadian nationalism and those of us
who believed in that cause could see what Peter and Carol were
doing," said Ms.
WYATT, a children's editor who spent four years
with the company in the seventies.
During the 16 years before its sale in 1981, Peter Martin Associates
published approximately 170 works, mainly non-fiction. Its presses
put out I, Nuligak, the autobiography of an Inuit man; The Boyd
Gang by Marjorie
LAMB and Barry
PEARSON;
Trapping is My Life
by John TETSO; and the Handbook of Canadian Film by Eleanor
BEATTIE.
Others who came through their doors included Hugh
HOOD,
RobertFULFORD, John Robert
COLOMBO, Douglas
FETHERLING and Mary Alice
DOWNIE -- all to have their works published.
Started with small amounts of seed money from private investors
and no government funding, Peter Martin Associates constantly
struggled financially. At one point, for a bit of extra cash,
the office became the designated nuclear-fallout shelter for
the street. Pat
DACEY, once the firm's book designer, lugged
suitcases of books up the street to sell at Britnell's bookstore
with summer employee Bronwyn
DRAINIE.
Working at Peter Martin Associates was always fun, Ms.
WYATT
said. "You went in to work happy and you stayed happy all day."
Still, in a time when Canadian works received little recognition,
she remembers finding it difficult to get media interviews for
the author of Martin-published book.
Yet another title caused trouble with its subject. The company
was putting out a collection of previously published sayings
of former prime minister John
DIEFENBAKER, called I Never Say
Anything Provocative, edited by Margaret
WENTE. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER
heard about the project, called Mr.
MARTIN and threatened to
sue. Mr. MARTIN stood firm.
"He handled it with such élan," said writer Tim
WYNNE-
JONES,
then in the art department. "He was suitably dutiful, but not
in awe. Mr.
DIEFENBAKER was just over the top, as was his wont."
The book went to press and Mr.
DIEFENBAKER did not go to court.
Once listed along with Peter
GZOWSKI in a Maclean's magazine
article on "Young Men to Watch," Mr.
MARTIN was born on April
26, 1934 in Ottawa to a dentist father and a mother who drove
an ambulance in the First World War. The younger of two sons,
he attended Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario and
the University of Toronto, where he earned a degree in philosophy.
During a year in Ottawa as the president of the National Federation
of University Students, Mr.
MARTIN met his first wife
Carol.
They married in 1956 and moved to Toronto. Three years later,
they founded the Readers' Club in Featuring one Canadian book
a month, it distributed works by Mordecai
RICHLER,
IrvingLAYTON,
Morley CALLAGHAN and Brian
MOORE among others, and supplied its
members with coupons. While continuing to run the Readers' Club
(sold in 1978 to Saturday Night Magazine and closed in 1981),
the MARTINs started Peter Martin Associates.
Throughout his career, Mr.
MARTIN spoke out for Canadian publishing.
Alarmed by the sale of Ryerson Press and Gage Educational Press
in 1970 to American firms, he called a meeting of publishers
to discuss problems in the industry. Named the Independent Publishers
Association, the group started in 1971 with 16 members and with
Mr. MARTIN as its first president. In 1976, it was renamed the
Association of Canadian Publishers and continues today with 140
members. As a result of the group's efforts, Canadian publishing
began to receive federal and provincial funding.
In the late 1970s, the
MARTINs went their separate ways. Afterward,
Mr. MARTIN published a small newspaper, The Downtowner, and owned
a cookbook store with his second wife, Maggie
NIEMI. In 1983,
they moved near Sudbury, Ontario, where Mr.
MARTIN did freelance
book and theatre reviews, then moved to Ottawa in 1985 to work
as president for Balmuir Books, publisher of the magazine International
Perspectives and consulting editor for the University of Ottawa
Press.
After a spinal-cord injury in 1997, Mr.
MARTIN was left a quadriplegic,
except for limited use of his left arm. Even so, he remained
active, maintained a heavy e-mail correspondence and spent time
in the park reading while seated in a bright-yellow wheelchair.
Mr. MARTIN leaves his children Pamela, Christopher and Jeremy
and his wife
MaggieNIEMI. He died on March 15.

Columbia, 30 April, 2003. Predeceased by her beloved husband
Alfred (d. 2001) and survived by their two children Patricia

MARTIN)
of Toronto. She will be missed by all, especially her grandchildren
Michael (Judy), Timothy (Susan), Laurie (Edwin), Jeffrey and
Louisa; and her great-grandchildren, Ann, Matthew, Jackie and
Madelyn. Lou was an original. She came to Canada with her war-widowed
mother after World War 1, and settled in Regina, where she began
a career as a legal secretary and bookkeeper. In 1933 she married
musician Al
HALL, a fact that had to be concealed because of
social strictures at the time that frowned on the employment
of married women. Her quick mind and analytical skills helped
build a career lasting more than half a century that was capped
by successful business ventures in partnership with her husband
first on the prairies and later in Victoria. Lou was a voracious
reader. Well into her nineties she followed complex social, economic
and political issues with a clear eye and firm criticism of those
who did not live up to her high standards. A skillful writer,
she particularly liked good prose, and was a fierce defender
of individual talents. In retirement, she was a founding member
of the Fairfield New Horizons Senior Centre and was much looking
forward to the celebration of their 25th anniversary later this
month. In lieu of flowers please send donations in her memory
to the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

Hockey coach who changed the game
'Captain Video' introduced new teaching tools in more than 25
years with the National Hockey League
By William
HOUSTONMonday,June 23, 2003 - Page R5
The▼ morning after Roger
NEILSON was fired from his first of seven
head coaching jobs in the National Hockey League, he returned
to his office at Maple Leaf Gardens.
He viewed and edited the videotape of the Toronto Maple Leafs'
loss to the Montreal Canadiens the night before. When a replacement
didn't show up, he put the Leafs through a practice. Later, he
was asked by a reporter why he was still hanging around.
"Somebody had to run the practice," he said. "Whoever comes in
will have to look at the tapes."
The▼ next day, Mr.
NEILSON was reinstated when the club could
not find a replacement, but Maple Leafs owner Harold
BALLARD,
always looking for publicity, wanted to make his return behind
the bench a surprise. Mr.
BALLARD tried to talk him into wearing
a ski mask or bag over his head, and then dramatically throwing
it off at the start of the game. Numbed by the three-day ordeal
of not knowing his status in the organization, Mr.
NEILSON almost
agreed, but ultimately declined.
"He hated that story," said Jim
GREGORY, who hired Mr.
NEILSON
to coach the Leafs in 1977 and was fired along with the coach
at the end of the 1978-79 season. "I hated that story."
The incident reflected poorly on Mr.
BALLARD, but in a smaller
way it helped create the image of Mr.
NEILSON we have today,
that of a coach who put the team ahead of his ego, who was loyal
to his players and dedicated to his job.
Mr. NEILSON, who died Saturday after a long battle with cancer,
will be remembered not just as a man who loved hockey, but also
as a skilled strategist and innovator. He stressed defensive
play and systems, and also physical fitness. In Toronto, he was
given the nickname "Captain Video," because he was among the
first to use videotape to instruct his players and prepare for
games.
When Mr. NEILSON, a soft-spoken man famous for his dry sense
of humour, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame last year,
he was asked about the late, controversial Leafs owner.
"I'm sure he's looking up rather than down," he said, with a
smile, before saying Mr.
BALLARD did some "good things for hockey."
Mr. NEILSON was also named to the Order of Canada in January.
Roger Paul
NEILSON was born in Toronto on June 16, 1934, and
went as far as Junior B hockey as a player. While earning a degree
at McMaster University in Hamilton, he started coaching kids
baseball and hockey.
After graduating, he taught high school in Toronto and his passion
by then was coaching. In hockey, he won Toronto and provincial
titles at different levels. In 10 years, his Metro Toronto midget
baseball teams won nine championships, once defeating a team
that included pitcher Ken
DRYDEN, who would later become a Hall
of Fame goaltender with the Montreal Canadiens.
Mr. NEILSON scouted for the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario
Major Junior Hockey League before moving to Peterborough in 1966
to coach the team. During his 10 years behind the bench, the
Petes never finished below third place and won the league championship
once.
By the time Mr.
NEILSON moved to the National Hockey League to
coach the Leafs in 1977, his reputation for creativity and also
mischief was firmly established. In baseball, he used, at least
once, a routine involving a peeled apple, in which the catcher
threw what appeared to be the ball wildly over the third baseman,
prompting the runner to race home. As the apple lay in the outfield,
the catcher met the runner at home plate with the real baseball
in his glove.
Always looking for a loophole in the rules, Mr.
NEILSON's ploys
instigated rule changes in hockey. On penalty shots against his
team, he used Ron
STACKHOUSE, a big defenceman, instead of a
goalie. Mr.
STACKHOUSE would charge out of the net and cause
the shooter to flub his shot. The rule was subsequently changed
to require the goalie to stay in his crease.
Over an National Hockey League career that lasted more than 25
years, Mr.
NEILSON holds the record for most teams coached (seven.)
He also held four assistant coaching positions. But he never
won the Stanley Cup. He didn't coach great teams. He seemed to
enjoy the challenge of taking an average group of players, making
them into a solid, defensive unit, and seeing them succeed.
In his first year with the Leafs, he moulded a previously undisciplined
group of players into a strong unit that upset the New York Islanders
in the 1978 playoffs.
In 1982, Mr.
NEILSON's playoff success with the Vancouver Canucks
underscored his skill as a tactician and manipulator.
WhenCanuck head coach Harry
NEALE was suspended late in the
season, Mr.
NEILSON, his assistant, took over. The Canucks weren't
expected to advance past the first round of the playoffs. But
backed by strong goaltending from Richard
BRODEUR, they defeated
the Calgary Flames and then the Los Angeles Kings to advance
to the semi-finals against Chicago.
The Canucks won the first game, but with Chicago leading 4-1
late in the second game, Mr.
NEILSON, unhappy with the officiating,
waved a white towel from the bench, as if to surrender to the
referee. He was fined for the demonstration, but the white towel
became a symbol of home-fan solidarity. In the Stanley Cup final,
the Canucks were swept by the powerhouse Islanders.
In addition to Toronto and Vancouver, Mr.
NEILSON's journey through
the National Hockey League consisted of head coaching jobs with
the Buffalo Sabres, the Kings, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers
and Philadelphia Flyers. He worked as a co-coach in Chicago,
and as an assistant coach with the Sabres, St. Louis Blues and
Ottawa Senators.
Ottawa, where he was hired in 2000, was his final destination.
In the 2001-02 season, head coach Jacques
MARTIN stepped down
for the final two games of the regular season to allow Mr.
NEILSON
to coach his 1,000th regular-season game.
Frank ORR, who covered hockey for The Toronto Star for more than
30 years, said, in 2002, "Roger is one of the few people I've
met in any line of work who never had a bad word to say about
anybody."

A remarkable life, and a friend to all
By Eric DUHATSCHEKMonday,June 23, 2003 - Page S1
Nashville -- Roger
NEILSON's legacy in hockey will endure because
he coached 1,000 games among eight National Hockey League teams,
because he was an innovator and because he served as a mentor
and a tutor to others during a Hall of Fame career.
But the contributions of
NEILSON, who died Saturday in Peterborough,
Ontario, at 69 after a lengthy battle with cancer, contain a
vibrancy matched by few others because of the countless Friendships
he developed during his lifetime.
The proof of that came in June of last year when a dozen of his
closest Friends organized a tribute to
NEILSON. It was held in
Toronto, a day before the National Hockey League awards dinner,
to make it easier for people to attend, which they did. More
than 1,300 people were there.
NEILSON was responsible for helping several players and coaches
get to the National Hockey League, including Bob
GAINEY,
CraigRAMSAY and Colin
CAMPBELL, players on the Peterborough Petes
junior team that
NEILSON coached in the 1970s.
Among those who benefited from
NEILSON's guidance was Florida
Panthers coach Mike
KEENAN.
ScottyBAUMAN/BOWMAN, the Hall of Fame coach,
recalled Saturday how
NEILSON talked him into hiring
KEENAN,
who had also coached the Petes, into running the Buffalo Sabres'
minor-league affiliate in Rochester, New York in the early 1980s.
"Roger didn't have any enemies,"
KEENAN said. "He lived his life
in a principled way. He had a great deal of respect for people
and found goodness in all of them. He was very unique and all
of us were blessed to know him.
"I'm saddened by his passing, but to me, this is a life to be
celebrated, a life that was so influential to many of us."
NEILSON had an endless fascination with the rulebook that forced
the powers in whatever league he happened to be coaching in to
revise and clarify each loophole he probed. For a penalty shot,
he would put a defenceman in the crease instead of a goaltender,
instructing the defenceman to rush the shooter as soon as the
latter crossed the blueline, to hurry him into a mistake.
Once, when his team was already two players short with less than
two minutes remaining in the game,
NEILSON kept sending players
over the boards, getting penalties for delaying the game. The
strategy worked, taking time off the clock and upsetting the
other team's flow. At that stage of the game, it didn't matter
how many penalties
NEILSON's team was taking. If a coach tried
that tactic today, the opposition would be awarded a penalty
shot.
NEILSON, whose last job was as an assistant coach with the Ottawa
Senators, coached his 1,000th National Hockey League game on
the final night of the 2001-02 regular season, temporarily filling
in for Senators head coach Jacques
MARTIN.
NEILSON was involved
with a dozen National Hockey League teams in a series of different
capacities, including his eight different turns as a head coach.
In 1982, he took the Vancouver Canucks to the Stanley Cup final,
his one and only appearance in the championship series as a coach.
The Canucks were swept by the New York Islanders.
It was during that playoff run that
NEILSON placed a white towel
on the end of a stick, a mock surrender to the on-ice officials.
In 1999, NEILSON was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form
of bone cancer, and needed a bone marrow transplant. He also
developed skin cancer, the result of a lifetime of being outdoors,
in the sun, usually in raggedy old shorts and T-shirts, with
a well-worn baseball cap perched on his head.
"He put in an incredible, inspiring fight with an insidious disease,"
said KEENAN, who added that
NEILSON kept in constant contact
with his mother Thelma, after she was diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer.
"They found strength in each other. That's the type of individual
Roger was. He'd reach out and touch somebody who needed help.
He was deathly in pain the last few times we spoke, but he would
not let it influence his life."
The▲ high regard for
NEILSON was clear during the tribute for
him last year. Former coach and Hockey Night in Canada analyst
Harry NEALE, who worked with
NEILSON in Vancouver, was the master
of ceremonies. But he was so overcome by emotion so many times
that he let his good friend Roger steal the show.
NEILSON's self-deprecating sense of humor surfaced when he scanned
the crowd and suggested that everyone he'd ever said hello to
in his lifetime had turned up for the event. He quipped that
at $125 a ticket, it must be an National Hockey League production.
What other organization would set the price so outrageously high?
NEILSON's health was deteriorating this spring, but he managed
to accompany the Senators on the road for their second-round
series against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Senators pushed the
eventual Stanley Cup champions, the New Jersey Devils, to seven
games in the Eastern Conference final before being eliminated.
NEILSON's speech to the team before Game 6, with the Senators
trailing 3-1 in the series, was cited by the players and the
coaching staff as the inspiration for their comeback against
the Devils.
"The only sad part is we weren't able to win a Stanley Cup for
him this year," Martin said.
With his health failing,
NEILSON asked
BAUMAN/BOWMAN to be the keynote
speaker at his annual coaching clinic in Windsor earlier this
month.
"I talked to him only a week ago,"
BAUMAN/BOWMAN said. "I said, 'The
coaches in the National Hockey League are getting blamed a lot
for the [defensive] style that teams are playing.' I said, 'You
should blame Roger
NEILSON because he's the one training all
these coaches.'
"Roger was a special person. The people that follow hockey know
what he went through. I truly think he battled it right to the
end and it was hockey that probably kept Roger going." eduhatschek@globeandmail.ca
Remembering Roger
NEILSON
"The coaches in the National Hockey League have been getting
blamed a lot for the style of game the teams are playing. I said,
'You should blame Roger
NEILSON because he's training all these
coaches.' "He battled right to the end. Hockey and life for Roger
were intertwined. That probably kept him going to the end. He
never got married. He was married to hockey."
Scott BAUMAN/BOWMAN
"All the awards he won this year tell you about his hockey career's
innovativeness and what kind of person he is. Some people are
going to remember Roger for nothing to do with hockey just because
of what a humanitarian he is. He put up an unbelievable battle.
From when he found out how sick he was, if had happened to most
people, they would have had their demise many months ago. He
fought hard."
Jim GREGORY
"I know I haven't met a person who could equal Roger's passion
for hockey. The honours bestowed on him in the past year, the
Hockey Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada, did not come by
accident. He has done so much for so many kids and I will always
remember that legacy."
Harry NEALE
"He's an individual we can all be inspired by, by his ability
to deal with some difficult situations in his own life. He has
such a high level of respect for human beings. "He was fortunate
in way he lived his life. It was impacted by his faith and his
religion. He observed those principles on a daily basis, things
most of us have a hard time dealing with. He saw the goodness
in everyone else."
Mike KEENAN
"He did a lot of work at the grassroots level with his hockey
camps, coaches' clinics, his baseball teams, his summer programs.
He wasn't really in it for himself very much. "It's a word you
use too often to make it special but in his case he was unique,
he really was."
Bob GAINEY
"Hockey has lost a great mind, a great spirit, a great friend.
The National Hockey League family mourns his loss but celebrates
his legacy -- the generations of players he counselled, the coaches
he moulded, the changes his imagination inspired and the millions
of fans he entertained."

FULTON quietly kept the Canadian Football League in running order
By Stephen
BRUNT,
Wednesday,December 10, 2003 - Page S8
Less than a month back, during Grey Cup week, Greg
FULTON picked
up his phone to answer a few questions from a reporter.
Frail health had kept him from making the trip to Regina, but
in conversation he was sharp as a tack and again proved himself
to be a one-man encyclopedia of Canadian football history.
Paul MARTIN, the prime minister to be, was going to make a much
publicized pregame appearance at Taylor Field, fresh from the
Liberal leadership convention.
Aside from Pierre
TRUDEAU,
FULTON was asked, did he remember
any other prime minister taking the time to attend the Grey Cup?
"Well," he said, "I don't remember Mackenzie
KING being there.
Or Louis SSAINTURENT."
Of course, he knew because he was there. It seemed he was always
there -- a player beginning in Winnipeg in 1939, a statistician
and treasurer for the Calgary Stampeders from 1950 to 1966, a
fixture in the Canadian Football League office from 1967 on,
and, finally in his last job, the Canadian Football League's
honorary secretary and official historian, a title surely unique
in all of pro sports.
The National Football League still has a few owners with connections
to the game's early days, and in hockey and baseball there are
at least a handful of sportswriting elders who still remember
when. But only the Canadian Football League actually employed
someone who had an inside view extending back more than 60 years.
Considering how tumultuous some of those seasons have been and
considering the game's highs and lows and the cast of strange
and wonderful characters who came and went, what a tale
FULTON
could tell.
He was 84 when he died on Monday, and with him, sadly, is lost
much of the anecdotal story of the league. (Commissioner Tom
WRIGHT, who during his relatively short term on the job had come
to appreciate
FULTON's special role, planned to have
FULTON's
memories committed to tape and transcribed. Sadly, that didn't
happen before
FULTON fell ill.)
FULTON's tenure with the league office was perhaps the only significant
legacy of Keith
DAVEY's 54-day reign as commissioner in 1967.
Davey lured
FULTON to Toronto from Calgary to act as the league's
treasurer. When Jake
GAUDAUR took over from
DAVEY, he decided
to keep FULTON on.
"It would be the most important decision I would make,"
GAUDAUR
says now, which, given the events of his 16 years in office,
is quite a statement. Every subsequent commissioner -- and there
have been a bunch -- endorsed and echoed that original decision.
Not that anyone on the outside would really understand. "All
of those beneficial things he did for the league were all out
of public view,"
GAUDAUR said. "He never received any sort of
media credit, nor did he want any. Clearly, it was a labour of
love for him. That's kind of corny to say that, but I really
believe it was."
In those early days, the league was a two-man, two-secretary
operation.
FULTON, an accountant by profession, kept the books,
kept an eye on club finances and kept the minutes during league
meetings -- all during a period when the game grew into a multimillion-dollar
sports business. He was also charged with producing the schedule
every year, a trickier proposition than it might seem, given
the uneven number of teams, the east-west split and the importance
of certain dates in certain places.
At one point,
GAUDAUR remembers, they turned the task over to
a computer. And then, after the computer coughed out its work,
they handed it to
FULTON, who fixed it. "He had what I consider
to be a computer mind,"
GAUDAUR said. "It was an incredible mind."
The Canadian Football League took a turn for the worse after
GAUDAUR left the post. Commissioners came and went, the league
at times teetered on the brink of insolvency, the disastrous
U.S. expansion played itself out and the owners at times resembled
a bag of mixed nuts.
But there was always
FULTON, quietly keeping things in running
order, breaking the tension with his wry, quiet sense of humour,
loyal first and foremost to the game he loved.
"He was a remarkable person,"
GAUDAUR said. "It really was a
pleasure to be around the guy."
Several generations of those who spent time in the Canadian Football
League orbit share those sentiments and mourn the loss.

Party leaders pay tribute
Tories fondly remember Stanfield as best prime minister Canada
never had
By Kim LUNMAN and Drew
FAGAN,
Thursday,December▼ 18, 2003 - Page
A10
Ottawa -- Robert Lorne
STANFIELD, the former leader of the federal
Progressive Conservatives, was remembered yesterday as a Canadian
icon.
Political tributes were made across the country for Mr.
STANFIELD,
who died Tuesday at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa. He was 89.
He had been in poor health for several years after a stroke.
A private funeral will be held in Ottawa tomorrow and a family
burial in Halifax.
Mr. STANFIELD led the federal Progressive Conservatives from
1967 to 1976 against Pierre
TRUDEAU and was known within the
party as the greatest prime minister Canada never had. In later
years, he was regarded as the conscience of the Conservatives,
representing their progressive side on social issues.
"Today we mourn the passing of one of the most distinguished
and committed Canadians of the past half-century," said Prime
Minister Paul
MARTIN. "I, like other Canadians, fondly remember
Mr. STANFIELD's great warmth, humility and compassionate nature,
but also his intellect and humour."
Progressive Conservative Leader Peter
MacKAY said Mr.
STANFIELD
will be remembered as an icon.
"It's a very sad and poignant day. He had a larger-than-life
persona and I think he can be accurately described as an icon
in Conservative politics and Canadian politics," Mr.
MacKAY said.
"Conservatives across the country, and indeed all Canadians,
have lost a great leader and a great Canadian," Canadian Alliance
Leader Stephen
HARPER said.
In an interview yesterday, former prime minister Brian
MULRONEY
described Mr.
STANFIELD as having brought the Progressive Conservative
Party into the mainstream of modern Canadian life through his
support for the Official Languages Act and his openness to ethnic
minorities and diversity. Mr.
MULRONEY said it was appropriate
that Mr. STANFIELD had been receiving treatment at Montfort Hospital,
the French-language facility in Ottawa, considering how hard
he had worked as leader to make the Tories comfortable with bilingualism
and how much effort he himself had made to learn French. "He
was a strikingly impressive, quiet, thoughtful man, but who was
very resolved and determined -- and with a generous view of Canada,"
Mr. MULRONEY said.
When Mr. MULRONEY was prime minister from 1984 to 1993, he would
occasionally invite Mr.
STANFIELD to 24 Sussex Dr. for lunch.
Mr. MULRONEY revealed yesterday that, in the late 1980s, when
Mr. STANFIELD was almost 75, he offered him the post of Canadian
ambassador to the United Nations.
"He thought it was a great honour. He wrestled with it for a
little while, but decided that, though he would love to do it,
he thought it would be a bit much at that stage of his life,"
Mr. MULRONEY said.
"He brought compassion to politics," Nova Scotia's Premier John
HAMM said yesterday.
"He brought a love of his country to his politics."
Flora MacDONALD, a former federal Tory cabinet minister, first
worked with Mr.
STANFIELD during the 1956 provincial campaign
that made him Nova Scotia premier. "He set a very high standard
for himself as a politician and expected others to do the same,"
she said yesterday. Mr.
STANFIELD supported official bilingualism
and abolition of the death penalty when his other caucus colleagues
were strongly opposed, she said. "He didn't do things just because
they were popular. He did things because he thought they were
intrinsically right."
Governor-General Adrienne
CLARKSON said Mr.
STANFIELD "will be
remembered for his integrity, his devotion to his country, his
social conscience and especially for his wit and sense of humour."
Mr. STANFIELD was premier of Nova Scotia from 1956 to 1967. He
was born in Truro into a family famous for its underwear business
and became a lawyer before turning to politics, first provincially
and later on the federal stage. But his awkward image contrasted
sharply to that of the hip, telegenic Mr.
TRUDEAU, costing the
party every election it fought under his leadership. The 1972
election was Mr.
STANFIELD's closest brush with federal power,
when the Liberals narrowly defeated the Conservatives by 109
to 107 seats. Two years later, the Liberals regained their majority
and Mr. STANFIELD announced his decision to step down. He remained
as leader until Joe
CLARK succeeded him in 1976.
After relinquishing his seat in the Commons in 1979, Mr.
STANFIELD
became Canada's special envoy to the Middle East and North Africa
until 1980, and was chairman of the Commonwealth Foundation from
1987 to 1991.
He married three times. His first wife died in a car crash in
1954 and his second wife died of cancer in 1976. He married his
third wife, Anne Henderson
AUSTIN, in 1978. He had four children.

Ottawa bids
STANFIELD goodbye
'He was a sage.... He was quite extraordinary,' Charest says
at funeral
By Kim LUNMAN,
Saturday,December▲ 20, 2003 - Page A9
Ottawa -- Robert
STANFIELD was fondly remembered yesterday as
a sage statesman.
The former Nova Scotia premier and federal Progressive Conservative
leader remained one of the country's most respected politicians
even years after leaving the national arena, Tory Senator Lowell
MURRAY told more than 100 mourners yesterday at Mr.
STANFIELD's
funeral in Ottawa.
"There has survived perhaps only the kernel of something, but
its essence in the Canadian consciousness -- that once, uniquely,
there was STANFIELD, leader of a major party, a man of such civility,
such humanity, such integrity, who adorned our national life,"
Mr. MURRAY said
Mr. STANFIELD, who suffered a stroke several years ago, died
Tuesday in Ottawa. He was 89.
At the private ceremony at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church,
he was remembered as a respected politician with a dry wit. He
will be buried today in Halifax's Camp Hill cemetery.
Politicians of all stripes attended the service to pay tribute.
Outside the church, Prime Minister Paul
MARTIN told reporters
his father and Mr.
STANFIELD were "great Friends. My father had
huge admiration for Mr.
STANFIELD. And I actually shudder to
think what the two of them are doing up there right now, the
amount of discussions that are going on."
Mr. MARTIN said he remembered Mr.
STANFIELD for his "great sense
of decency, integrity, and his deep, deep love of country." Progressive
ConservativeLeaderPeterMacKAY said Canada has lost "one of
its greatest statesmen, a person who raised the standard of politics
and public service.... He was very much substance over style."
"He was a sage," Quebec Liberal Premier Jean Charest, the former
federal Tory leader, said. Mr.
STANFIELD "looked at life with
a bit of a smile, I think. He was quite extraordinary."
Governor-General Adrienne
CLARKSON called Mr.
STANFIELD remarkable,
"a man of deep conviction, a man who was decent and fair and
honest and very funny." Other political colleagues at the funeral
included former Tory prime ministers Kim
CAMPBELL and Joe
CLARK
and former Tory cabinet minister Flora
MacDONALD.
Mr. STANFIELD married three times. His first wife died in a crash
in 1954 and his second wife died of cancer in 1976. He married
his third wife, Anne Henderson
AUSTIN, in 1978. He had four children.
Even as the service was going on in Ottawa, hundreds of people
filed into the Nova Scotia legislature in Halifax to sign a book
of condolence next to a portrait of the former premier, who led
the province for 11 years, from 1956 to 1967.
Mr. STANFIELD led the federal Progressive Conservatives from
1967 to 1976 against Pierre
TRUDEAU and was known within the
party as the greatest prime minister Canada never had.
In his later years, he was regarded as the Conservatives' conscience,
representing the party's progressive side on social issues. He
supported Mr.
TRUDEAU's
OfficialLanguagesAct despite a revolt
by his fellow Tory members of parliament and also backed abolishing
the death penalty.
He was born in Truro into a family famous for its underwear business
and became a lawyer before turning to politics.
Bespectacled and known for his slow-speaking style, Mr.
STANFIELD
conveyed an awkward image that contrasted sharply with the youthful,
charismatic Mr. Trudeau, costing the party every election it
fought under his leadership.
But he came within two seats of office in the 1972 election when
the Liberals defeated the Conservatives by 109 to 107 seats.
Two years later, the Liberals regained their majority and Mr.
STANFIELD announced his decision to step down. He was succeeded
by Mr. CLARK in 1976.
